One-Shot Resin 3D-Printed Stators for Low-Cost Fabrication of Magic-Angle Spinning NMR Probeheads.

ABSTRACT: Additive manufacturing such as three-dimensional (3D)-printing has revolutionized the fast and low-cost fabrication of otherwise expensive NMR parts. High-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy demands rotating the sample at a specific angle (54.74°) inside a pneumatic turbine, which must be designed to achieve stable and high spinning speeds without mechanical friction. Moreover, instability of the sample rotation often leads to crashes, resulting in costly repairs. Producing these intricate parts requires traditional machining, which is time-consuming, costly, and relies on specialized labor. Herein, we show that 3D-printing can be used to fabricate the sample holder housing (stator) in one shot, while the radiofrequency (RF) solenoid was constructed using conventional materials availab
